    Signs of bad weather.
    When the cat sits with its back to the fire. Cattle close to a ditch. The horse standing with its back to the wind with its head down. The crows tossing upside down. When salt gets damp. When windows are misty. Mist in front of the moon. Swallows flying low. Ducks quacking loudly.
